CLOSING LOCATION

SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS

Proponents should submit their Proposals on or before the time and date specified in
the bottom row of the table in Section 2.1 (the “Closing Time”).

Each Proponent should submit its Proposal by email to bids@vancouver.ca with the
Proponent’s name and the RFP title and number in the “subject” line (“PS20180615;
Consultant for Granville Street Bridge Vertical Access Feasibility Study”).

If you did not receive an automated email within few minutes, check your junk folder
first, and then contact Purchasing@vancouver.ca

To be considered by the City, a Proposal must be submitted in the form set out in Part
C (the “Form of Proposal”), completed and duly executed by the relevant Proponent.

Amendments to a Proposal may be submitted via the same methods, at any time prior
to the Closing Time.

Proposals are revocable and may be withdrawn at any time before or after the Closing
Time.

All costs associated with the preparation and submission of a Proposal, including any
costs incurred by a Proponent after the Closing Time, will be borne solely by the
Proponent.

Unnecessarily elaborate Proposals are discouraged. Proposals should be limited to the
items specified in Part C of the RFP.

The City is willing to consider any Proposal from two or more Proponents that wish to
form a consortium solely for the purpose of submitting a joint Proposal in response to
the RFP, provided that they disclose the names of all members of the consortium and
all members complete and sign the first page of the Form of Proposal. Nonetheless,
the City has a strong preference for Proposals submitted by a single Proponent,
including a Proponent that would act as a general contractor and use subcontractors as
required.

Proposals that are submitted after the Closing Time or that otherwise do not comply in
full with the terms hereof may or may not be considered by the City and may or may
not be returned to the Proponent, in the City’s sole discretion.

General Description of Requirement

The RFP concerns the City’s interest in procuring a consultant (“Consultant”) to
conduct a technical feasibility study to determine the potential for providing a vertical
connection between the Granville Street Bridge and Granville Island. Details of the
City’s objectives and requirements to which the RFP relates are set out in Part B of
the RFP. The City welcomes proposals that are responsive to this RFP (“Proposals”)
respecting innovative or novel approaches to the City’s objectives and requirements.
